If you ever needed an excuse ---was BX 290

Dear Friends,
I did not order anything from this most
recent BX, but I find it both amazing and one of
the very best reason for not putting off
membership in PBS.
The range of selections is pretty
amazing, but the relative rarity is astounding. I
doubt you'd find any commercial source for most
of these offerings. If you live in a suitable
climate or have the where with all to grow these
in a greenhouse, this is an opportunity and then
some.
Joining the paid membership not only
supports this list - reason enough to join - but
having access to the BX makes this a huge bargain
in simplest $ and ¢. I suspect that if you
ordered a half dozen of these commercially they
would cost you much more than our BX charges per
share and postage and membership in PBS combined
and then some.
A quick check of #1 Brunsvigia littoralis
gives a single source (in the UK) wanting the
equivalent of almost $153 for one bulb. And
forget even trying to collect the range of
variation of Massonia and Daubenya being offered.
These things may go fast to our members,
but they may never even appear any time or place
again.
I am certain you can place an order with
Dell and include membership info at the same time.
Just sayin...wow. Thanks to
all the contributors. Jim W.
